A Map of 
“J-M” Asbestos Roofing 


A Roofing that 
is Different 
—and Why 


‘‘J-M’’ ASBESTOS ROOFING should not be 
confused with the many so-called ‘prepared’ 
roofings on the 
market, as there is 
asmuch difference 
between them as 
there is between 
ASOe€S TOS and 
“wool felt’. One 
is practically in- 
peta destructible and 

CRUDE ASBESTOS the other is, by 

Che Basis of ail our ‘Roojing nature, a perish- 
able material 

—especially when exposed to the elements. 


The body fabric of ‘‘J-M’’ Roofing is pure, 
long-fibred Asbestos—a natural mineral 
fibre. Asbestos is the ideal material for 
roofing—because it is absolutely fire and 
acid-proof and practically indestructible. 

; It will not rot, rust or wear out. 

A Mineral Joes not require painting to 

Product keep it in condition;—the first 

cost—the only expense. ‘There 

is absolutely no wool felt, rag stock, shoddy 

or similar organic materials used in its 

make-up, although these perishable ma- 

terials are the basis of all other prepared 
roofings on the market. 


One of the many salient features of 
‘*‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing is that it requires 
no coating or painting to preserveit. This 
ere explains why ‘‘J-M’’ is the 
No Painting obit per year’’ roofing. 
Required Other grades of roofing usually 

require painting every year 
or two, which adds considerabiy to the cost 
of the roofing, so that the lowest priced roof- 
ing will in time prove the most expensive. 


‘“‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing acts as a natural 
fire-retardant, and many buildings covered 
with it, and our ‘‘Asbestoside,’’ have been 

saved from destruction 

Better than where adjacent buildings— 

Fire Insurance not so protected, have 

been totally destroyed. 

We have on file hundreds of letters, testify- 

ing to the high fire-resisting properties of 
‘“‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing.

Covered with ‘‘]-M’’ Asbestos Roofing 


<d=M ASBESTOS MINES 


‘‘J-M’’ Roofing consists of several layers— 
or plies, of pure long-fibered Asbestos, 
which are cemented together with alternate 
layers of pure Asphalt Cement—no coal tar 
or pitch being used. The Asbestos comes 
from our own asbestos mines in Canada— 

among the largest in the 
How ‘‘J-M’’ world. The Asphalt is 
prepared in our own Re- 
finery. Being made en- 
tirely wrder owr own superviston, from 
the crude materials into the finshed product, 
we are able to maintain the same high stan- 
dard which has inade all“ “j-M” =mnaterials 
famous the world over.

Roofing 
and ‘‘Asbestoside’’ 


“‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing is absolutely 
impervious to moisture, and water cannot 
be forced through it, even tuder abnormal 
pressure. Each layer—or ply, is thoroughly 
saturated with ‘‘J-M’’ Weather-proofing 

Compound, which is made 

Weather-proof of the highest grades of 

Properties asphalt. The Asbestos 

weather-surface affords 

absolute protection from the action of gases, 

chemical fumes or acids, and, as a result, 

‘‘J-M’’ Roofing is the only kind which is 

not affected by smoke, steam, acid fumes, 
etc, 


‘‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing is easier to apply 

than any other—because the mineral lap 

cement (which is furnished free 

Easily with each shipment) does not re- 

Applied quire heating or any preparation 

When used. We furnish galvan- 

ized nails, lap cement and fwll instruc- 
tions for applying with each shipment. 


“ASBESTOSIDE” 


‘‘ASBESTOSIDE”’ is a material for wall siding, 
having many advantages over clap-boards, shingles 
or metal siding. It is especially recommended for 
factories, ice houses, store houses, automobile gar- 
ages, poultry houses, barns, etc., because of its 
high fire-resisting properties, permanent durability, 
low cost and neat appearance. 


‘“Asbestoside’”’ possesses the highest fire-resisting 
qualities, because the body fabric is pure asbestos felt. 
It will not rot, rust or corrode, and requires no 
painting or coating to preserve it. Its natural 
white appearance gives an attractive finish to the 
building, without any painting or other decoration. 
A building covered with ‘‘Asbestoside’’ is cool in 
summer, warm in winter, and comfortable at all 
times. 


“KEYSTONE” 
HAIR INSULATOR 


“REMEMBER, IT IS CHEAPER TO BUILD A WARM 
HOUSE THAN TO HEAT A COLD ONE” 


Showing the Application of ‘‘Keystone”™~ 


‘“KEYSTONE’’ HAIR INSULATOR is an ideal lining 
for the walls and floors of buildings, being equal in 
insulating properties to ten layers of ordinary sheathing 
paper. AS an insulation against heat and cold, and 
as a sound dendener, it is far superior to building 
felts or sheathing paper. ‘‘Keystone’’ is as easily 
applied as one layer of ordinary paper. It outlasts 
the building; remains elastic; will not pack down 
or settle; fits odd corners, and is always flexible— 
never brittle. 


From the economic standpoint alone, ‘‘Keystone”’ 
should be used, as it pays for itself many times over 
in the saving of fuel, and has amply proven our 
claim, that it is cheaper to build a ‘‘Keystone’’-lined 
building than to heat one otherwise constructed. ‘The cost 
of insulating an ordinary residence is about $35.00; 
—less than one cent per square foot. 


‘*Keystone’’ will pay for itself in coal saviny witht: « 
short time.
